Every generation looks back to its childhood as the best. In reality, they're all pretty much equal. The only thing I feel badly for the Millennials is the Helicopter Parent phenomenon. Kids should be able to play outside by themselves with no supervision. That's how they learn independence. Too many of you will always be looking for the walls to box your lives in because your parents never showed you that you don't need them.
Only 2004-2007.The rest of it I was too young to remember, and everything after 2007 sucked.
-9/11-The Second Gulf War (or was it the third?)-7/7-Credit Crunch fucking up our economy, our future job prospects and increased the price of Freddos to 65p-Fukishima Disaster, AKA "Chernobyl 2: Radioactive Boogaloo" (*Edit, just missed out by a year)-Tony Blair

I've always enjoyed the excessively stylized aesthetic of the 90s, but I've had an epiphany while watching this video. The very culture of the generation is way ahead of it's time, these resurfaced trends - they have a resonance within so many levels of absurdity, their metaphysical satire is sadistically cynical, and their sardonic commentary is scathing in an almost genteel manner - their comedic juxtaposition is one of the most eccentric, yet accessible forms of performance art I've ever seen. 90s ideals center within the art of subtlety and nuance, and it is really, truly brilliant. "Underrated" is a poor descriptor for the formidable time spanning effect; "under-appreciated" is far more appropriate.

The only good thing that came out of the early 2000s was Halo and the Original Xbox. Everything else sucked.

Intro-level trolling, not so much buddy kiddoP.S: i'm having fun watching you squirm over your obviously enlightened perspective on language, love and life. Seems like it's all worked out!
what if one day you woke up and everything had a slight yellowish tint like those educational videos from the 90s
The 00's were objectively better than the 90's
